PAST TEDx TALKS

The Theme – RESILIENCE

Resilience is the ability to withstand, recover, and move forward when faced with adversities, tragedies, and problems that seem impossible to overcome. Despite the common understanding of its definition, how resilience looks like in practice is ever expanding. Resilience as an idea has become increasingly popular beyond psychology. Today, it is not an overstatement to say that resilience exists within all fields, industries, and movements.

At TEDxCentennialCollegeToronto, we invite you to explore what resilience means to you through ideas worth spreading.
